Previous posts in this regard refers.  Further information available HERE.

The past week and a half I again played around with APRS in the Mossel Bay area.  The following services/stations are now up and running.  Please note that I still need to connect the RF radio to the  ZS1I-10 Igate:

Local and visiting radio amateurs are welcome to use the APRS services in the Mossel Bay area.  I will later post more information and How to's to setup the different OS's (OS = Operating System)

Activity can be monitored on APRS fi and FindU

As stated I still need to update the RF part of the current system.  I am awaiting the arrival of a 2M VHF radio before setting up the RF side.  Updates to follow.
